Cannot see comments at thehill.com

Post by kbriggs »

Anytime I go to the news site thehill.com and try to load the comments section below any article, they will not load in SeaMonkey. I'm running 2.53.2 but this problem has existed for awhile now. Other browsers including FireFox do not have this issue. When I bring up the Error Console, I see this:

Error: SecurityError: The operation is insecure.

Confirmed.

URL: https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4991 ... 0-veterans

Click, "Load comments".

Result: No comments.


(Without looking, I'd say "polyfill" or something similar?)
(Works in Quantum. Does not work in FF 52. It does work in Pale Moon.)
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Where is this .4 release available? I only see the .2 release at http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/. I have uBlock Origin installed but I already tried turning it off for thehill.com and it made no difference.

The latest beta is available from http://www.wg9s.com/comm-253/

Another thought: If you are not situated in the US you need a vpn connection to a us proxy to access the comment section.

I'm in Texas and I use the Disqus chat system on lots of other sites. Just installed 2.53.4 beta 1 pre but it made no difference. The error console still fills with errors related to disquscdn.com and the comments will not load. Turning uBlock Origin off and clearing all the cookies and local storage made no difference.

I'm in Germany and use a proxy (via Stealthy extension) to connect to the site.
Sometimes I have to reload the comment section because of a timeout but as you can see on imgur.com, it works.

I wonder if it's a Windows 7 (NT 6.1) vs Windows 10 issue. The two of us not seeing the comments show NT 6.1 in our user agent line in these posts.

I have tested on WIN7 x86 32bit with Seamonkey 2.53.4b1.
Comment section on thehill works here also but here I see some errors in the console.

I have Stealthy Version 2.4.1-signed.1-signed installed and it works with SM 2.53.4.
You can fetch it from http://web.archive.org/web/201709042028 ... d.1-signed
You have to use the Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey at http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/

Err, as usual, turn off JavaScript on the page....and figure it out from there.
